Hello lovely Bayside Brides! Can you believe it’s nearly time to don warm sweaters, watch the leaves change color, and drink pumpkin spice coffee again? To get you completely ready for the autumn season, this month’s wedding style ideas will be full of the warm hues that I associate with this time of year. If you’re planning to be a fall Bayside Bride, this post is for you!
Ariana Wedding Dress by Aria and Champagne Sash | Givenchy Crystal Drop Earrings at Macy’s | Rose Gold Crystal Bracelet by Givenchy at Macy’s | Bouquet via Brides floral design by Urban Dahlia | Pelle Moda “Alera” Pump at Nordstrom
The warm tones of champagne and rose gold are two of my favorites for the fall season. They are beautiful color choices for a bride, because they add a glow that easily accents a traditional white or ivory look. Metallic colors and textures are a big trend in weddings right now, so wearing rose gold and champagne accessories †is an easy way to bring in metallic elements in autumn colors. This lace wedding dress from Aria has a beautiful lace illusion neckline, which I think is an ideal style for the fall months. Add a champagne sash, slipper-like kitten heels, rose gold accessories, and a bouquet with rustic harvest touches, and you have a completely elegant fall bridal look.

Fall brides often choose red or orange for their bridesmaid dresses because those colors echo the natural autumn harvest hues so well. That’s one reason I chose this bridesmaid dress, because this color — called “Scarlet Rose” — is a soft blend of red and a bit of orange, giving this dress a warm spice color that is ideal for a fall wedding party. I kept the accessories simple and neutral so that the dress and bright fall bouquet can stand out. I included that little heart bracelet because I think it’s a nice delicate piece for your bridesmaids to wear, and it also lets them know how much they mean to you!

While fall Bayside fellows can still certainly wear tuxedos or other sharp-looking suits, if you’re going for a rustic fall wedding style, then you might consider a rich gray and brown wool suit like this. It has a subtle plaid pattern that gives texture and warmth that seems like just the right thing for a fall wedding. I’ve added some rich burgundy accessories, chocolate brown wing tips, and a fall-themed leaf boutonniere to make this groom’s attire fully suit the season.
Wythe Dress from Lilly Pulitzer | Sailboat Stud Earrings by Juicy Couture | Ivory Pearl Cuff from Bauble Bar | Blythe Striped Clutch in Orange by Sole Society | Kelly and Katie “Clare ” Sandal from DSW
For the last of the looks, I haven’t forgotten about the Bayside wedding guests! While summer is often the busiest season for weddings, many of you will find that you’ll still be headed to weddings each weekend well into December. I always love to give a nod to the nautical theme here on Bayside Bride, so I thought this navy, ivory, and gold Lilly Pulitzer dress was the perfect little party dress for late summer and early fall Bayside weddings. The embellished neckline is like built-in jewelry, so just add sailboat stud earrings and some pearls, and you’re ready to head weddings this month!
I hope that you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and that this post has put you in the mood to cheerfully celebrate the upcoming fall wedding season! Until next time, Bayside Brides!
